Thomas Jefferson Had Some Issues with Newspapers

2 ¾ min

Thomas Jefferson truly believed that a free people require a free press. On the other hand, he really loathed newspapers, as illustrated by the following 10 quotes:

1. “The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.”

Mass of people reading the news + mass of people who can’t distinguish truth from falsity in the news = trouble.

 

2. “I deplore... the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them... These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food.”

“Sound food,” for Jefferson = books.

 

3. “‘From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.”

Thomas Jefferson: Don’t.Read.Newspapers.

 

4. “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”

Newspapers sit on a throne of lies.

 

5. “As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.”

Lies.

 

6. “A coalition of sentiments is not for the interest of printers… [T]he printers can never leave us in a state of perfect rest and union of opinion. They would be no longer useful and would have to go to the plough.”

Newspapers are pot-stirrers. 

 

7. "I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time…”

Reading newspapers does not mean one is “informed.”

 

8. “A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies serves like headlands to correct our course. Indeed, my scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.”

He really couldn’t care less about them.

 

9. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Better off without them.

 

10. “From a very early period of my life, I had laid it down as a rule of conduct, never to write a word for the public papers.”

Seriously, screw newspapers – Thomas Jefferson.

    B. Mon. 11 Jan. Danielle, Charlie Ward and Simon Parkes Update: https://youtu.be/q5q73_Wbz9Y

    Within hours the big media companies would be taken down. Executive Order 13959 would go into effect that prohibits investments in Chinese Communist Military companies: it was a declaration of war on Big Tech. On Wikipedia there is a list of all the big media channels that would be taken down. There was expected to be a collapse in the Stock Market.

    ATMs, Internet and credit card processing could go down at any time.

    Be ready to have five days of no cash, no credit card and no internet.

    Make sure you're stocked up on food, water, meds, fuel, candles/batteries, pet supplies, and cash. We expect periodic POSSIBLE power outages, telephone or cell phone outages, or Internet... be prepared for anything. They're suggesting perhaps 10 days worth.

    If you're instructed to stay indoors it's for your own safety. Do not engage the military. They are part of a global op to take down the deep state cabal and are not threatening to The People.

    Everyone will be getting emergency alerts on their phones, tv's, radios & internet. It would override all other broadcasts and could last for several hours at a time.

    Do not to be scared of what's coming as it is for the safety of our nation for this to unfold.

    DO NOT travel to any large cities (especially Philadelphia) for the rest of the month. Military operations will be taking place in many of the major corrupt cities.

    People [[D]eep State Antifa BLM] will start rioting once this Intel breaks. The propaganda would be that Trump was a military dictator.

    Trump and the Department of Defense Special Force Units have only until 19 Jan. to put this down.

    Marines and National Guard troops were being moved as needed for the riots that would start after the national release of the Intel.

    The Intel would be dropped for everyone to see and hear in loops that would be several hours long.

    A few days ago the system was checked by the FCC alerting ALL media that they could not block the flow of Intel under federal regulations.

    Trump would be moved continuously like a chess piece from now until the 20th in order to avoid any retaliation against him and family.

    Watch Sec. Pompeo's Twitter account. Pompeo is posting every 30 minutes. When he begins to post every 15 minutes the TAKE BACK is on. When he posts every 10 minutes, then 5 minutes - look for an EBS announcement. Currently they are 30 minutes apart: twitter.com/SecPompeo https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=163001

    President Trump was scheduled to speak Tues. 12 Jan. at 3pm EST at Right Side Broadcasting Network: LIVE: President Trump Speaks in Alamo, TX 1/12/20

    R. Mon. 11 Jan. AndWeKnow Intel Update: https://youtu.be/1j7-y7TWFxA

    Monkey Works shows tremendous air activity, especially around Washington DC

    Activation of plan put ahead 3 days due to Intel on [P]elosi’s laptop

    Rome responsible for rigged election, Vatican now dark

    Pakistan in 40% power outage – China offered 5 billion to buy GE found on Pelosi’s laptop – US interfered with deal that was to take place in Pakistan – reason for outage

    More troops in Washington DC

    Developing lawsuit against Social Media for taking down accounts

    Social Network being formed by Trump – open to all free speech

    Evidence to come out this week

    Trump got 80% of vote

    Apple to do update so you can’t hear Emergency Broadcast System, turn your Apple updates off

    Pelosi’s laptop showed her cooperation with Antifa assault on Capitol, she turned it around to Trump and was now calling for his impeachment – an act of Treason.

  • TRUMP HAS NANCY PELOSI'S LAPTOP!

    Wed. 6 Jan. at 10:17 pm, Tweet from Trump Attorney Lin Wood:

    Trump in Abilene Tx at the National Defense Command Center.

    So while Congress is on Capitol Hill committing Treason, surrounded by the Military who is “helping them” by Pence’s orders, Trump was in Texas at the Command Center watching…

    You think if the Military didn’t have his back he would be there? Or, he would have escaped Washington on AF1?

    Sec. of Defense is playing Pence and Congress, waiting for them to finish the crime.

    “We are going to win. We’re going to get the country back on track. We’ll be on the right side of history. These next moments have to go perfectly. The whole world is coming to wipe us out. Only God himself can help us pull this out. Stay in the fight. Keep the faith. Pray and support the President in what he has to do next.” …Q

    “The Alliance is in control and things were going according to The Plan. There have been over 600,000 indictments filed in federal courts across the nation since President Trump took office, many of which were about to be served. From Thurs. 7 Jan. on there’s going to be a lot exposed some in the next couple of weeks, all rolling out in the coming months. Turn off the mainstream news. Relax. As our beloved Q says, we need to take a deep breath, take a stand, side with justice and join the fight. Enjoy the Show, for Where We Go One, We Go All!!!…Judy
